Exclusive: What is responsible?

Am Just wondering why most ladies lose their facial and skin beauty once they get married. So, what is that thing responsible for the rapid change physical appearance immediately they get married. Is it marital stress? Is it child birth? Or they just stop taking care of themselves? Yes, I know child birth changes her body, but what about her skin complexion? The one that is dark becomes darker and the one that is fair starts becoming dark as soon as she gets married. No lady retains her previous complexion after getting married. Those that are a bit conscious of their appearance can only retain an approximate skin complexion after marriage. I have come across many fair ladies turned black after marriage. Today, no traces that they were ever fair. I mean, what is responsible? It still, baffles me! I think a research should be carried out as to why this is so.

This is the reason why most men go out to have extra marital affair because the ladies they married now looks older and unattractive to them.

To married ladies out there, despite your determination to build a good home as well as taking good care of your husband and children, it should not be done at the expense of your physical appearance. You still need to pay cognizance attention to your physical appearance and look good just for your man only

How blogging is perceived by many

People have a wrong perception about blogging. They think blogging is a get rich quick scheme. Thus they concentrate their thoughts on the glamour that comes with blogging forgetting that a lot of hard work needed to be done to attain this status. They preoccupy their minds with earning six figures income, becoming famous and traveling around the world.  No matter how serious you may be, you become demoralized and demotivated when your thoughts finally proves you wrong and only option left is to exit blogging feeling very disappointed.

Don’t be deceived or brain washed by people who tell you when you start a blog, you automatically start earning six figures. It doesn’t work like that! Blogging requires persistent and consistent effort to win the hearts of people and convert them to permanent audience. This you can achieve only when your blog is regarded as a solution provider and pleasure point.

Therefore, concentrate your thoughts on how to help people solve their problems or feel better with your blog. A lot of hard work is involved, though. But in no time people start regarding you as an authority in what you do, build trust and confidence in you and then making money blogging becomes a seemingly possibility.
